.TH fmt_iso8601 3
.SH NAME
fmt_iso8601 \- write a date in ASCII conforming to ISO-8601
.SH SYNTAX
.B #include <fmt.h>
size_t \fBfmt_iso8601\fP(char *\fIdest\fR,time_t \fIsource\fR);
.SH DESCRIPTION
fmt_iso8601 writes a date in ASCII representation as ISO-8601 defines it:
"2014-05-27T19:22:16Z". ISO-8601 also allows to store a sub-second part
and a time zone, but fmt_iso8601 does not support that.
fmt_iso8601 does not append \\0.
If \fIdest\fR equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_iso8601 returns the number
of bytes it would have written.
The return value of fmt_iso8601 is 20 until Jan 1st 10000.

.TH scan_iso8601 3
.SH NAME
scan_iso8601 \- parse an ISO-8601 timestamp
.SH SYNTAX
.B #include <scan.h>
size_t \fBscan_iso8601\fP(const char *\fIsrc\fR,struct timespec *\fIdest\fR);
.SH DESCRIPTION
scan_iso8601 parses a timestamp as defined in ISO-8601 into a struct
timespec. It returns the number of bytes read from \fIsrc\fR (0 for
parse error).
scan_iso8601 supports input timestamps in time zones other than UTC
even though fmt_iso8601 does not. Note that the returned time_t is
always in UTC, even if a local time was given.
